had the abilities engaged in it been as eminent as they were despicable, because the materials of suc cess did not exist in the national character and habits. The rabble may be roused to madness, without moving a single stone from its place in the structure of society or in that of the Constitution. Such, however, has not been the sense entertained by the Whigs, or the brawling Revolutionists whom they serve, of the pro- Tess and fi na l resu l t o f t h e ir legislative undertakings. They are alike sanguine, because they are alike shal low ; and whether it concerns the Reform Bill, or more especially the Bill for opening the Corporations, they flatter themselves that one and the other will prove a death-blow, to the. interests of Conservatism, or, to speak in plainer terms, of property, intelligence, prin ciple, and public character, in this country. We have already told them how grossly they have been cheated by their own cunning. They have been singing hymns of exultation over the kingdom, because in a large number of cases, as they assert, a mob of rate payers, including those whose tenements may not be worth more than 30s. or 40s. per annum, and forming, it is to be supposed, a large majority of the entire body of burgesses, have, in combination with all those parties whom the old corporate authorities had disap pointed or offended, carried the election of municipal officers against them—in other words, men who have no political franchise, and who cannot therefore have any share in electing Members of Parliament, have chosen a set of persons for town-councillors, who, as such, are equally incapable of being Members of Parliament, and of voting for them. Now, let us re peat the first question we asked upon this subject a few days ago. What sort of bearing upon political power—that is, what change in the elective franchise for choosing Members of Parliament—is, or can be, produced by the choice of town-councillors on the part of persons who have not the elective franchise already ? Does the vote of a burgess, or does any other act of his, make him a political elector ? Does his vote for a town-councillor make that councillor an elector of Members of Parliament, if he was not one before ? Does it in any manner increase the political material of any town or borough ? No. But we are told that the patronage will in future be so exercised—the funds will be so distributed—the nominations to municipal office will be so managed, and salaries so employed, as to influence the votes of your 101. householders against the old Conservative interest in the borough. Surely this, at least, cannot be. Why, this is rank bribery. This is the very offence, because of the prevalence of which, and upon that a ll ege d prevalen ce un d er t h e Administration of the old Corporators, Lord John Russell rested exclusively the necessity of a Corporate Reform I Bribery was then a rank crime when it operated in favour of Conservatism, but when auxiliary to the cause of Whig-Radicalism, it is among the le gitimate ways and means of the Constitution. How ever, let us see. In those boroughs, they are not many, where funds do exist at all applicable to the ends of corruption, the Whig-Radical and revolu tionary patriots had better take care what they are about ; they are to be, it seems, the governing party ; they are to have public money at their disposal ; they are to bribe. Let them bribe skilfully, or wo betide them. They have first—at all events (we now take the matter on their own showing)—they have first the old Conservative interest of the place to a man against them in what concerns the return of Members to Par liament. Then comes the question—can they bribe a full majority of political electors ? If they cannot, every man to whom they refuse a bribe—that is, an office, and a salary—will be jealous of those who are more favoured than himself, will be exasperated against the distributors of these loaves and fishes, and will infallibly join the Conservatives. Thus, the means of corruption, in so far as they fall short of a sum requisite to buy a majority, will wor k not merely negative, b u t positive mischief to the Itetormers!" They will not only fail to make friends, but they will provoke irrcconcilea‘.lle enemies. However, this, according to our own general view of the question, is really of little moment. We are Ea tis%e4l that the effect of these returns will be so par tial, or at least so equivocal, as to form no solid ground for tho calculat:ort of political consequences on either side. If the Whigs think otherwise, why hesitate to 'dissolve the Parliament ? We challenge them to that test of the va!ue, of their municipal " reform." That monstrous effects were hoped for from a Radical victory, we arc well apprised by the monstrous prac• ticea resorted to in order to insure it. First take a glance at Cambridge, where the new Corporation has made its dlbut by the commission of what would have been charged as positive crimes against the old —exclusiveness and secrecy in its proceedings. The Mayor, however, did not venture to refuse—as some of the Radicals expected he would—to take the usual oath to preserve the privileges of the Univer sity. Now turn your eyes to Bury, where Mr. Eagle has been elected : should he accept the office, he will furnish a subject for inquiry, when Parliament shall have met, how far a Charity Commissioner, who received an increased salary for devoting his whole time to the public service, can hold a situation which pre cludes his absence from the borough to which he is attached for more than two months in the year. Thirdly, make an attentive survey of Norwich. We do not dare the Radicals, of which a large portion in that city are of the class of turbulent and republican Dissenters, whom we hinted at some paragraphs ago —we do not dare them to a denial of the enormous and flagitious bribery by which the late metamorphosis of the Town-council there has been brought about, because such a denial would be false and impudent—a consideration beneath the notice of these patriots—but we dare them, because they know such a falsehood would be vain—because they know that the facts are capable of easy demonstration. We have intelligence on this point which it is impossible to refute. The Corporation had a clear majority of pledges in 5 wards out of 8, and a certainty of many Councillors in other wards. But on the Wednesday before the election several strangers appeared in the town, offering in the most open manner sums of money to the new burgesses to vote " for the Blue list." The bribes Were from 51. to 401. One man was charged with 16 cases of bribery, and a Whig Alderman became bail for him. Not much short of 10,0001. was spent for this purpose by the Whig party. We are asked, did it come from the Whig faction generally, or from a certain Mr. G— ?—a rich man formerly in parliament, whose I bleedings on behalf of Whiggery are said from first to last to have exceeded 50,0001., and those of another Mr. G— at least 10,0001. more. Since 1832, there has been no bribery at Norwich ; but now that it is an object (whether valuable or utterly futile will soon appear) to establish an ascendancy in the corpo ration,—that is, to fight the adventurers against the majority of the class who possess property in Norwich —the practices resorted to on this occasion are noto rious. It will be crime and money bestowed in vain.—Tinzes. With that singular disregard to truth and consis teney;which generally marks the Agitator's proceedings, we have in his recent letter to the Electors of West minster a distinct disavowal of the existence of any coa lition between Lord Melbourne's Ministry and himself. The late Mr. Cobbett was wont, in his free and pow erful use of the vulgar tongue, to call the people "dolts" and " jolterheads." We wonder what measure Mr. O'Connell takes of the capacity of those into whose hands he expects his State Paper to fall, if he mean them to swallow or adopt such egregious falsehoods as this. No coalition ! Why, what says Mr. Sheil, quite as good an authority as Mr. O'Connell upon the sub ject ? He has told the freeholders of Tipperary, and told them truly, that the compact was formed between Mr. O'Connell and the Ministers at Lichfield House, and that its immediate result was the overthrow of Sir Robert Peel's Administration. No coalition, indeed! Why, what is a coalition, but a union of parties, pledged to support each other, through thick and thin, in every question which comes before the House ? On ' this occasion the union, and the consequent vassalage on each side is complete. Lord Melbourne and his colleagues unite with and applaud the very m an who, on ly two yea rs ago , t h ey denounced in the King's Speech as an incendiary ; while the other high con tracting party lauds to the skies the very persons who, in sundry epistles from Derrynane in the autumn of 1834, he held up to every species of ribaldry and contempt. Nor is it what the lawyers call a deed without consideration." On the one side the Minis try owe their places wholly and solely to the sup- THE SUN, LONDON,' WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, IBS6, would appear that Sir Robert is now the sole depen dence of the Tories, as the Times has it—" The Conservatives, young and old, who sit in Parliament, are bound to consider that Sir Robert Peel can do ex tremely well without their assistance, but that with out him they can no nothing for themselves." Poor impot en t creatures helpless, 'hopeless inanities ! Au apology is offered by our contemporary for the severity of its reprimand—by attributing its chastisement to an over anxiety for their welfare. It observes, "In the execution of this task we have employed rough language ; we have read in rude words, a harsh but wholesome les son ; we haVe told manygentlemen truths which perhaps their self-complacency, perhaps their inward consci ousness, rendered unpalatable to them—but it was for their own sakes we did so. For ourselves, what de light can we take in rendering ourselves troublesome to a number of our constant and most indulgent readers ? What pleasure can it yield us, to be set down by them for meddling and ill-mannered, because uninvited mo nitors ?" The Times treats its readers as mere dolts, incapable of judging or acting for themselves. No wonder ! But the rhodomontade is too ridiculous for serious or sober discussion ; it may, however, show the necessity of a- strong muster on the part of the Liberals to meet the array which will be opened to them. The word is, " Come all together early." We are told that the Monarchy is in danger, and that the 4th of February is a day " big with the fate of Britain." We may guess the nature of the conflict to which the Tories, in their extremities, would have recourse, by the language of their leading organ:— " When a soldier whets his blade, and buckles on his armour more carefully than usual, it is not often a sign that he means to balk the combat." Let the attendance of the Reformers be such as to present a front so numerous and well-organized as to strike terror into the opponents of good government, and se cure the progressive amelioration of our institutions by driving the faction from the field, or at , least by over whelming them by peaceful, but more efficient because peaceful, means in the Senate House.—Morning Advertier.

Popish dominion and separation from Britith con nection, aided by all the weight and influence of his new allies. But after all there is, we suspect, no want of craft in this new denial and renunciation of a coalition. One of the parties at least, there is good reason to believe, has discovered that he has gone too far. The day is very fast approaching when Minis ters will be shown•in the face of the country the very words which Mr. O'Connell has uttered within the last five months, and at sundry places, and they will have to say whether they adopt them or not. Their situation will be an awkward and embarrassing one we admit ; and it may therefore be convenient that they should prevail upon Mr. O'Connell to anticipate the removal of the difficulty by disclaiming ant coalition with them himself. But no art or trickery of this sort will succeed with the country. The late election in Northamptonshire showed pretty well what its feelings are upon the subject. We know, too, how far-spread and increasing that feeling is. It is not that the cause of Reform is one jot less popular with the country than it was ; but when the public see a Reform Ministry uniting with, and lending itself to the views of a revolutionary incendiary, and of one whose patrio tism lies wholly in his pocket, they naturally pause to ask if, under such guidance, they can be safe ? The person in question has evidently gone too far. Both he and his Ministerial allies know it ; and they now wish, to a certain extent, to disclaim each other. That they may quarrel and part, is what few, we believe, would regret ; but it is too great a tax upon our cre dulity, as well as too great a slur upon the credit of the parties themselves, to endeavour to persuade us that the sworn and inseparable friends of yesterday were never friends at all.—Morning Herald. The din_ of the Radical and Ministerial faction about the municipal elections is still going on. There are some people so amorous of sound, that they would rather have the music of marrow-bones and cleavers than no noise at all. The condition of the Whig- Radical faction is, in its way, very similar to this. Having no political triumph of a more respectable nature to make a noise about, they are fain to take up with such glory as is derived from the success of the riff-raff of towns in electing persons to manage their local affairs. Now, they are quite welcome to make as much fuss about this as they please, provided they do not tell lies ; but they do tell lies, and therefore we beg leave to expostulate. Let it be granted that the majority of the new " councillors" are theirs ; they are not " councillors " for the nation. Let them attend to their street-sweeping and lamp-lighting— we trust they will do so with satisfaction to them 'selves and to the small public by which they are surrounded ; but surely they will not sweep Con s servatism out of the world, or light Radicalism through its dirty ways to supreme power. Let it be granted that those dread personages, the new Mayors of the new Municipalities, are chiefly Minis terialists, what, in the name of common sense, has Conservatism to do with the rustling of their robes ? Shall the Throne totter because the little potentates of town-halls are in alliance with its enemies ? Let them swear allegianc e to Lord John Russell—and a proper head he would be for their pigmy State--abut what is that to us ? They may overcome dustmen with their dignity, and lead the watch upon its nightly rounds with an exceeding air of the Field Marshal ; but St. James's Palace trembles not on its foundations—St. Paul's Cathedral stands as firm as ever. We remain as though the Mayors were not. But seriously—what is the practical political gain to the Ministerial faction by these elections ? Answer us that, gentlemen boasters. That you make a mighty hubbub we ad mit ; but about- what ? Describe your advantage— give it a name—tell us what it does to affect the atrangtlx. ycxux. factims inthe House of Commons. You point indeed to a number of towns, and you tell us that, because the municipal elections have gone so and so, the Conservative Members who now represent those towns will not represent them again. This is easily said ; but your reasons, Gentlemen, your reasons. You might diligently enumerate twice as, many towns, and gravely assure us that by reason of the late thaw no more Conservative Members would or could be re turned by them. The other assertion would appear not less absurd if all the world were as well aware of the real circumstances of municipal elections as the} are of the political independence of the weather. II the municipal elections show that Conservative Mem bers will not be in future returned by the towns, it must be, either that these new municipal officers exer cise a power ;in returning Members of Parliament which they did- not exercise before, or that the election of these officers affords a proof that, when Members of Parliament come to be elected, candidates of similar politics to these local busy-bodies will be returned. Now there is not a particle of authority for as suming either of these two things. The new mu nicipal officers have not a jot of privilege as el ec t ors of Memb ers o f Parliament. Neither does any member of the old corporations, who, as such, exer cised a right of voting for Members of Parliament, lose that right. It was, indeed, attempted (and a most flagrant attempt it was—an audacious attempt to break faith, and'to alter the Reform Bill)—it was, we :•ay, attempted to take away from the old freemen the right of voting ; but that clause was struck out of the Bill by the House of Lords, and, absurd as the Bill was, and is, in many respects, it has not effected the iniquity of altering the elective rights of the people in respect to Parliamentary Representatives. There is no particle of power, for or against, as regards the election of Members of Parliament, which these Mu nicipal elections alters or interferes with. But, next, as to the evidence they afford of the probable result when elections of a more important nature comes on. As to that point, they show nothing, or worse than no thing, for they lead astray. It is not the same consti tuency—God forbid it were—which elects these paltry councillors and elects Members of Parliament. It would be quite as reasonable to supposethat the show of hands in front of the hustings at an election is a decisive proof of the result there will be at the poll, as to sup pose that the voice of the promiscuous rabble which elects Municipal Councillors will prevail in electing Parliamentary Representatives. Take a case in point : look at Devizes. The Radicals have prevailed there in electing these new " councillors," but did they pre vail at the election of a Member of the House of Com mons a few weeks ago ? No—they were beaten. In short they had votes in one case and not in the other. The result of one was no criterion of the result of the other, nor is there (if people would tell the truth) any ground to say that, generally, the municipal elections are to be taken as samples of what would happen in Parliamentary elections. At all events we do not fear the trial. If the Ministerialists think they can by a new election get a House of Commons more favour. able to them than the present, why don't they try ? But they do not think so. They know that their re presentations upon the subject are altogether false ; and they are content to go on, depending solely upon the assistance of Mr. O'Connell and his thirty-five, because they cannot help themselves.—Morning Post. The Tory trumpets sound the reveille, and call their scattered forses to the field with a blast so loud and shrill, as to make the whole welkin ring with warlike note of preparation. They seem determined to bring Up their truly forlorn hope for a desperate effort on the meeting of Parliament. It is highly amusing to witness the mode in which each partisan endeavours to shift the disgrace of recent defeats from his own shoulders, and to raise his reputation at the expense of his fellows. The Times, wh o never stops at trifles, thunders forth its abuse against the wholy body of Conservatives, for not giving more cordial and zealous support to Sir Robert Peel. It accuses them of being actuated by the most despicable feelings, a fact which the people never 4uestioned, but of which the Times has occasionally appeared rather tardy in the recognition. After calling those Conservatives who do not attend their duty in the House of Commons, " idle gentlemen, the most despi s ed order ?fthe human race," their desertion of Sir Robert Peel is attributed to envy. " The sting which vexes them," says the Times, " is the more severe by reason of the Right lion. Baronet's possessing, in an eminent degree, the great feature of that rival aristocracy, of which the thing , called ' birth ' is naturally, but meanly and ab surdly jealous, viz., the aristocracy of wealth." It INSOLVENT COURT.-TUESDAY. IN THE HATTER OF WM. H. MORRIS. In this case the question was, 'whether the insolvent had a good claim to be heard, having been a bankrupt in 1834, and uncertificated. He was opposed on the part of a Mr. Cates, a bill discounter. The insolvent had been a mattress manufacturer, in Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, and was a bankrupt in 1834, when Mr. Cates proved a debt. The petitioner had since renewed it by bills, and had contracted a fresh debt with him on bills. He had likewise renewed other debts. The case was adjourned nine die, for the in solvent to obtain the consent of three-fourths of his creditors. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Lanibden, aged thirty-two, was indicted for stealing a gelding of the value of 901., the property of Ro bert Sherman. During the time occupied in adducing evidence, the pri soner was suddenly seized with a severe hysterical fit, whic lasted for several minutes. The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence, and he was tbund guilty. Mr. Sherman begged to recommend the prisoner to mercy, believing that this was the first offence he had com mitted, and that he was dupe of some other person. The RECORDER observed that the law rendered it impe rative on him to pass the sentence of transportation for life. In consequence of there being no more business to go on with, the Court rose at half-past four o'clock. IV CO uRT. .Tamesyyan, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a live pig value Bs., the property of John Cooper. The prosecutor, an unsophisticated rustic, stated that he went to Blackheath fair, in October last, to sell a drove of Towards the close of the day, while his back was turned, some mischievous person unfastened the pen, and the pigs got out and run up all manner of lanes. After a long chase, he succeeded in. capturing all but a suck ling, which, as if it had the fear of Christmas before its eyes, evaded the pursuit. About a fortnight ago witness found the runaway-pig at Greenwich, in the pos session of a man named Claridge, who had bought it of the prisoner the day after it was lost. The CouRT--Can you swear to the pig? Witness— Eez, to be ziiure. He have a black nob and tail, and' is body be whoite.—(Laughter.) The COURT—Are not other pigs marked like this one ? The witness here held up the pig by the ears, saying, " Here he be, let 'un speak for his zel."—(Laut , hter. The four-legged wit ness , t h ough one of what Erskine termed " the mute creation," made the Court resound with its cries. The Prosecutor—You see he knows I, and I knows be.—(Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE—The pig had got fatter and bigger, -but it was the same, and witness would have sworn to it if he had seen it at York. A witness named Ford stated that he saw the prisoner " the day after the fair," going about with the pig asking who had lost it. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. The COURT—You are very lucky, prisoner. Mr. POANE—Yes, you have saved your bacon. Don't take care cf any'one's pig again. SURREY SESSIONS -TUESDAY. This day the General Quarter Sessions commenced at Newington before Mr. HEDGER, Chairman, and several of the County Magistrates. The Grand Jury were shortly addressed by the Chair man, who congratulated them on the lightness of the calendar, which only contained the names of 37 persons for trial for felony, besides a few for misdemeanors. The Court then proceeded to the business of the county, when the Treasurer presented his accounts. It was agreed that a twopenny rate for the liquidation of expenses incurred for general purposes be referred to the Finance Committee to report thereon. The report of the Visiting Justices of the several gaols of the county was then - read, from which it appeared that the introduction of the " silent system" into some of them bad been attended with beneficial effects, and was a decided improvement in prison discipline. Some discussion here arose upon the report of the Visit ing Justices of Kingston Gaol, which gave rise to a short discussion relative to the utility of continuing the gaol in question, Mr. Hawes, M. P., being of opinion that its abolition would save expense to the county, and that a worse prison did not exist in the kingdom. Sir RICHARD FREDERICK spoke in favour of the con tinuance of Kingston Gaol. It was ultimately agreed, on the motion of Mr. Hawes, that a Committee be formed to prepare a report of the number of prisoners confined, and the average expenses of Kingston Gaol, for the last three years: Mr. BEST, in submitting a motion with respect to the internal regulations of Brixton House of Correction, said that by adopting a system carried into effect in a gaol in the county of Norfolk, it would work advantageously in B r i xton also. He then proce e d e d t o describe, that in Walsingham prison Hayes's patent hand-rail had been introduced on the treadwheel, which increased the labour of those working on it in the proportion of one-fifth. Mr. JEFFREY said, that as an inquiry was going forward by the Legislature on the subject of prison diseipline, it might be as well to postpone the question now, particularly as an experiment was about to be tried on the Philadelphian plan. After some few words more, a Committee was appointed ,o inquire, and make their report on the subject. The COURT then adjourned.

CAPTURE OF AN ESCAPED CONVICT.---A few weeks ago, a convict of the name of Henry Wood, who was convicted at the Nottingham County Sessions last October, for cow stealing at Farnsfield, and sentenced to be trans ported for life, made his escape one night very ingeniously from the hospital of the county gaol. A good d ea l o f pains have been bestowed to retake him, and last Sunday night he was captured at Ripley, in Derbyshire, where he had got work at a coal-pit.—Shejicld Mercury. A wheat-rick, the produce of ten acres, and the pro perty of Mr. Alexander, of Littleton, was consumed by fire on Monday last—the act, no doubt, of an incendiary.._ Wilts Herald.

(From the Neu) London Price Current of last Night.) SUGAR.—The Sugar Market continued closed all last week ; of course there could be no alteration in the prices. The stock of West India Sugar is now 22,438 hhds. of trs., being 14,730 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 34,599 bags, which is 19,670 less than last year. The deli very of West India last week was 2,028 hhds. and trs., which is 19 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 2,871 bags, being 630 more than the corresponding week of 1835. There was much interest excited at the opening of the Sugar Market this morning, being the first Market day since the 24th ult. ; the rise in the Refined Market prepared the trade to expect a further advance in raw Sugars ; the holders asked prices about is higher than before the holidays, which have been reluctantly given, but as the day proceeded the ad vance became the currency of the Market ; the estimated sales this day are 1,100 hhds. and trs., including the public sale of Barbadoes, the latter 120 hhds. low yellow to fine Barbadoes, sold 13. Gd. higher, from 655. 6d. to 68s. In the Market very low brown Demerara sold at 625., which may be considered the lowest point of the Market. On investigating the sales of Sugar with the samples before the close of the holidays, we find the prices of good and fine Sugars Is. a ls. 6d. higher this day, and on brown Sugars fully Is. 6d. higher. There has been little business done in the Re fined market, on account of the holidays, but the transactions were more extensive than is usual at this season of the year, and the prices have gradually advanced during the holidays, mak ing an improvement in prices of 2s. per cwt. ; Lumps to pass the standard 855., and few sellers ; fine Crashed for export 445. In the Refined market there is little alteration this after noon, Lumps not to pass the standard sold at 85s. Gd. MAURITIVS.—There have been no sales of Mauritius during the holidays. EAST INDIA AND FOREIGN.—There have been no extensive transactions reported, but the holders were asking Is. to 2s. higher. Average price of Sugar, 1/. 19s. 4d. per cwt. WELT INDIA MOLASSES.—This day by public sale 418 puns. new West India Molasses, a great proportion of good Demerara sold at 285., which is 2s. lower; 44 puns. St. Lucia of inferior qua lity taken in at 265. 6d. The total deli veries of 'West India Molasses from the warehouses for the week ending 2d Jan. amount to 1,589 cwt. COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee du ring the holidays, and very few transactions by private con tract ; the parcels of clean Plantation have been much wanted, and are scarce. There has been some request for coloury Foreign Coffee, and some parcels of Brazil have been reported sold at 525. to 545. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon ; the Market has a very firm appearance, particularly for Plantation descriptions suitable for the home consumption. The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses for the week ending 2d Jan• , are 122,478 lbs. of West India, and 69,985 lbs. of East India. Coco&.—The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from the warehouses for the week ending 2d Jan. are 11,6471b5. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The, Rum Market is very firm ; there are new arrivals, and some barely above proof have been sold at 2s. 23d. The contract for Government is daily expected in the Market. In Brandy and Hollands there is no alteration. T ALLOW. —There is no new feature in the Tallow Market; it. is heavy, and the sales rather drooping. RICE. —The Rice in this Market is held with much firmness there are no sales to any extent reported. Lusa PRovlsioNS.—The unsettled state of the weather has completely stagnated the Butter Market. 'The Irish curers of Bacon having entered into contracts for forward shipments now find the supply of pigs not adequate to the demand, and the prices too high ; some of them have already determined on stopping payment, by way of cancelling their engagements. The. Irish agents having commenced wharfingers for the pur pose of housing their own goods, have caused the cheese mongers to be very timid buyers from those parties, fearing that by mistake stale goods may be delivered for fresh ones, and the shippers appear apprehensive that their interest may suffer for the purpose of securing the wharf charges.; a report is in circulation that an opulent party of wharfingers are about to' commence as agents in self-defencq.
